I also like the dress. This is the kind of short dresses that I don´t mind her to wear. I agree with Ladyfinn about the age and the lenght of the dress. If you have nice legs, you should be able to show them not matter what´s your age
The day after seen this dress on her for the first time, I went to Mango and try it, I was totally in love with it! I didn´t buy it, however, I have to recognize that I didn´t like it at all on me, it looked too wide (I think that Leti changed that on hers). Anyway, she looks better in it since she´s so thin, those wide dresses suit her a lot.

I agree. A younger woman who is heavier might not look as good in a miniskirt as an older woman who is slim.

The awards are meant to give recognition to the talent of young entrepreneurs, it´s a youthful event and meant to be more casual than many other prize givings.

This Mango dress looks so good on Letizia, and her hair is in good shape nowadays, it looks healthy.Getty ImagesGetty Images

Btw. age is a number and elderly people can also wear miniskirts, says finnish former dance school owner Aira Samulin. She is very respected and admired in Finland, because she does a lot of voluntary work by visiting homes for elderly people. She talks about her life and gets people to dance and sing with her. She is 84 years old and still wears miniskirts:Voice/AiraMTV3/Aira

Is she really 84? Wow! She certainly has a great body.

I liked the dress on Letizia as well. I'm still in love with the side parted hairstyle, btw.

Well, Felipe wore a suit. If it was supposed to be so relaxed & casual, why didnt he leave the tie, just like in the afternoon session?http://www.casareal.es/noticias/imag..._impulsa_2.jpg
Its rather that his wife doesnt know how to dress properly, she is a Princess hitting 40 but dresses like a barbie doll as if she was only 20.

Felipe was overly dressed according to the dress code announced last year (relaxed, casual, no designer gigs), it's not like he can do no wrong. Perhaps he just felt more comfortable wearing suits with a tie.

I like the pants but the top looks awkward to me with the pants. Maybe its the fact that its not tucked in, the gathered sleeved reminds me of a curtain draping. Something isn't working with the overall look for me.

Agreed but considering what we have to compare it too that's not saying much

But her evening look has been great, Cant compare it to her daytime looks as they are different or different looks to evening looks.
Personally, this was her not knowing whether she wanted to go all shimmer or plain, decided to mix it up and it didn't work.

She wore the black sandals in Mallorca before. She is very thin, the puffy sleeves looked pretty good on her. I wish it were a dress instead. What's the deal of wearing pants in every single act the last couple of weeks ?
